SpaceX is launching its Crew-13 mission on Thursday, sending four astronauts (Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney from NASA, Joshua Kutryk from Canada, and Russian cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov from Russia) to the International Space Station.
Their arrival will keep the ISS running smoothly for the next six months.
